33. THEORIES OF LEADERSHIP
• There are three theories of Leadership. These are –
1. Trait Theory
2. Behavioral Theory
3. Situational Theory

34. A. Trait Theory –
• Trait theories argue that effective leaders share a number of common personality
characteristics, or "traits.“
• Trait theories help us identify traits and qualities (for example, integrity, empathy,
assertiveness, good decision-making skills, and likability) that are helpful when
leading others.
• Traits are external behaviors that emerge from the things going on within our minds
– and it's these internal beliefs and processes that are important for effective
leadership.

35. B. Behavioral Theory –
• Behavioral theories focus on how leaders behave. For instance, do
leaders dictate what needs to be done and expect cooperation? Or do
they involve their teams in decision-making to encourage acceptance
and support?
• In the theory, the leadership styles are explained.

36. C. Situational Theory –
• The realization that there is no one correct type of leader led to theories that
the best leadership style depends on the situation. These theories try to
predict which style is best in which circumstance.
• For instance, when you need to make quick decisions, which style is best?
When you need the full support of your team, is there a more effective way to
lead? Should a leader be more people-oriented or task-oriented? These are
all questions that situational leadership theories try to address.
